"When it comes to hiring, law firms value AI skills" (with Rodrigo Ascensão)

«"Also at SRS Legal, the evolution of technology around AI and data science in general is in the firm's ‘sights’. ‘This concern is also present when selecting, developing and training the firm's employees," explained managing director Rodrigo Ascensão.

"We believe that AI solutions will be produced by technology companies that we want to be partners with, capable of choosing the best solutions and training our employees to get the most out of them, always within the limits of data protection and confidentiality,’ he noted.

Rodrigo Ascensão also revealed that they intend to ‘enrich’ the structure with active users of tools that allow for a greater degree of lower value-added tasks. "The strategy is to adopt the market solutions that best serve this purpose," he said.

"In the last 12 months, we have introduced three lA/Automation solutions that help lawyers have more time for higher value-added tasks. At the same time, we have a programme to train and support lawyers in adopting the tools, which really only add value for SRS and its clients if they are used well,’ explained the managing director.

On the other hand, at SRS Legal we use tools to help produce drafts of a tool for automating the recording of hours produced and increasingly ‘powerful’ technology for managing due diligence work. "Furthemore, for the purposes of producing legal work, the use of open AI tools is not permitted. We want to be part of this unstoppable wave of innovation, while ensuring the high quality standards of the legal work produced at SRS Legal, as well as the confidentiality and protection of SRS Legal's data."»
